FAQ
Is it a single search or a real dig?
A real dig. It works in steps — several searches and reads before it writes the brief — so it takes longer than a single lookup, and it always shows its sources.
Whose AI key does it use?
Your own. Connect a vendor key in your Oriora account; you pay the provider directly for the tokens, plus a small Oriora fee per research run. Oriora provides the web search.
Where is my data stored?
Your research history lives on your device. Each question sends only what that search needs to your AI provider and the web-search tool, and Oriora keeps nothing.
How do I sign in?
With your Oriora account — an emailed code, or Continue with Google, GitHub or Apple. It's the same Oriora sign-in page the website uses, shown inside the app, and one account covers every Oriora app.
How does backup & restore work — iCloud, Google Drive, GitHub?
Your data lives on your device, and you can back the whole collection up to your OWN cloud: connect Google Drive (one tap) or GitHub (a token) once in your Oriora account, and every Oriora app backs up there — restore it on any device. Files need no connection at all: export a backup file and import one back through your phone's own Files picker, where iCloud Drive (and Google Drive, if it's on your phone) simply appear. In the latest app versions the Back-up panel also shows exactly where your backups live and when the last one was saved, and you can just tell the chat "restore my data" — it names the source and asks you to confirm.
